Equalizer

[Shara Ashraf Prayag Mishra @sharahuda]

She was 4. Raped. Brutally murdered by an alleged drug addict
Found bleeding in a "drug yard" in Ghaziabad on 16th March.

Syringes. Vials of Avil. Needles everywhere.

Weeks later, the place is still active with countless vials and syringes scattered everywhere

A father who lost his daughter is now fighting so no other child suffers the same fate.

Please stand by him and take strict action against drugs 🙏 🙏

The board says it's an offence to drink in a public place. Why has this been allowed ? People are drinking freely outside a liquor shop in New Friends Colony. Such negligence can lead to crime. @CPDelhi @PMOIndia @gupta_rekha request you to kindly take action. Pls make our city a safe place for children and women.

@DiwakarSharmaa Hope strict action is taken against the cops who failed in their duty

[Shara Ashraf Prayag Mishra @sharahuda]

Yesterday, I stood beside a man who has lost everything....
In Ghaziabad, I, met the Special Investigation Team (SIT) along with the child’s father. The team has now begun probing the horrific case.
Led by Manzil Saini, Inspector General (IG), Vigilance, the SIT has formally taken charge. We submitted documents and videographic evidence. Every piece of truth we have fought to gather over the past weeks.
The SIT includes Indu Siddhartha, Additional Superintendent of Police (Addl. SP)/SP Crime, Muzaffarnagar, and Priyashri Pal, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), Police Commissionerate Ghaziabad.
They will begin recording statements of key witnesses from today.

For this father, every step has been a battle..against fear, against pressure, against a system that failed his child when she needed it the most.

Today, we place our faith in the SIT.
Because this is not just about one case.
It is about accountability.
It is about dignity.
It is about justice..for a child who deserved so much more.

Hanuman ji, pls stand by us 🙏

Imagine a victim being treated like a criminal, while the accused moves freely inside a courtroom..

I accompanied the father of the four-year-old girl, allegedly raped and brutally killed in Ghaziabad, to the POCSO Court.

What unfolded there was deeply disturbing.
After the Additional District Government Counsel (ADGC) allegedly insisted that he “stick to the FIR version,” the father refused to depose, stating that his earlier statement had been forcibly obtained.

When we attempted to leave after submitting a complaint, police restrained the father and forcibly dragged him back inside, claiming he was “in custody.” They said they would be suspended if the father doesn't depose..

I could hardly believe what I was witnessing.
In protest, I rushed into the courtroom and pleaded before the judge. The court immediately intervened and directed the police not to touch the father.

All this while, the accused stood barely a metre away, watching.

This happened while the matter was pending before the Supreme Court of India...

This is not how justice is meant to function.
There is no law that compels a victim to depose when he does not feel safe or is under distress.

And why is there no CCTV surveillance outside a POCSO court room, a space that deals with some of the gravest offences?

A system where a grieving father is coerced, restrained, and treated like an accused...while the accused stands unrestrained.

This is not just a lapse.
This is a failure of dignity, of due process, and of justice itself.

A 4-year-old child raped and brutally killed in Ghaziabad in an active drug den. The Supreme Court has ordered an SIT to investigate this case.

Mukesh Tyagi ji from Loksatya came all the way from Meerut to report this:
even as "big channels”, whom I personally took to the crime spot, chose to look away after spending hours recording evidence and interviewing the locals.

Big victory for us 🙏. A daily wage earner's daughter was raped and brutally murdered by an alleged drug addict. The system kept failing him in the most brutal ways.

The Supreme Court has ordered an SIT. My faith in justice is restored

Thank you, Hanuman ji 🙏🙏

Forever grateful to Sidharth Yadav and Senior advocate N Hariharan ji for ensuring that a poor father's voice is not silenced

[Shara Ashraf Prayag Mishra @sharahuda]

He came to court to speak the truth about the rape and brutal murder of his 4 years old daughter..
He says he was told not to...

The father, whose case is now before the Supreme Court of India, went to the POCSO Court, Ghaziabad yesterday to record his statement.

He said he is illiterate.
That he never wrote the statement in the FIR.
That he now wants to tell the truth in court. His child was alive when found, not DEAD..and it was RAPE but sections were added later

He was allegedly told by the ADGC to "stick to the FIR version or risk weakening the case".
Shaken, he submitted a request saying he could not depose today.

And then he was manhandled by police and forcibly dragged back inside while I protested. Police said he was in "custody" and they would lose their jobs if he doesn't give his statement today.

The accused was standing barely a metre away from us. Watching.

The Hon'ble judge immediately ordered the police to release the father

As the matter comes up before the Supreme Court today, he will be finally able to speak freely

नवोदय टाइम्स के संजीव शर्मा की यह रिपोर्ट सिहराने वाली है। निडर पत्रकारिता के लिए आपका धन्यवाद।
जब मैं पहली बार उस जगह पहुँची, तो जो देखा उस पर यकीन करना मुश्किल था।
हफ्तों बाद फिर गई...कुछ भी नहीं बदला था।
मुझे विश्वास है कि योगी जी ड्रग माफिया के खिलाफ सख्त कार्रवाई करेंगे 🙏
और हर उस व्यक्ति को सज़ा मिलेगी जो इस ज़हर को फैलाने में शामिल है।

Another 4 year old girl allegedly raped and killed in Ghaziabad by a drug addict, her own mama… the one she should have been safest with. The accused is on the run

Drugs don’t just destroy lives. They fuel monsters.

Drugs are being sold like ice cream

Pls take action against the drug mafia and save our innocent children

A poor father who refused to give up finally has hope.
A 4-year-old girl was raped and murdered by an alleged drug addict in Ghaziabad.
Yesterday, the Supreme Court heard her case. The CJI came down heavily on the private hospitals that refused admission to the child and the Ghaziabad police, calling out their “indifferent” and “insensitive approach.”
Thank you, Advocate Siddharth Yadav, and Senior Advocate N Hariharan ji 🙏 🙏

She was just 4. Found bleeding in what looked like a "drug yard" in Ghaziabad. Raped. Brutally murdered by an addict.
The poor father rushed her to two private hospitals on a neighbour's bike. Both allegedly refused to treat her. One hospital had a police check post right outside!
Father says he was humiliated by the police. Despite visible indicators, initial FIR didn't mention rape and POCSO wasn't invoked.
When I approached Advocate Siddharth Yadav, he immediately stepped in and ensured the father’s plea reached Supreme Court. Senior Advocate N Hariharan appeared on father's behalf.
@Rakhi28048649 stood by him since day 1, amplifying his voice.
Thank you @yogitabhayana
for being there in every battle 🙏

History has a way of surprising us. Sanskrit is now a full-fledged course in Pakistan. A fearless man, Shahid Rasheed, a Lahore-based professor of sociology, is reviving Sanskrit in Pakistan...something unseen since the tragedy of Partition. His first student? His daughter.
He calls it a project of humanity. And it truly is.
Sanskrit is among the most melodious languages ever born...ancient, precise, and restorative, almost like a balm for a worn-out soul. How unfortunate that generations of Pakistani students were denied this beautiful inheritance for decades.
I was fortunate. My father, a Sanskrit scholar from BHU, introduced me to the language as a child. I grew up reciting shlokas whose resonance still steadies me, offering inner strength and calm amid an often cruel, chaotic world.
Thank you, Prof. Rasheed, for reminding us that language can build bridges where history built walls and that humanity, when pursued fearlessly, is the only meaningful project of all.

The Army has no room for religious affiliation. It's allegiance is to the nation alone
Rajiv Tyagi, former fighter pilot, Indian Air Force writes:

The Supreme Court has upheld the termination from service of Lt Samuel Kamleshan of the Indian Army, for not attending a gurudwara event at his Regiment.

The Indian Army, as also the Pakistani Army is composed of ethnic, religious and caste formations, reflecting the realities of this subcontinent. Officers however, are allotted Regiments on a random basis, or on parental claim. For example, if my father, a Malayali, served in the Jat Regiment, I his son, can claim affiliation to the Jat Regiment on receiving my Presidential Commission. However, if I do not claim that right, I will be allotted a Regiment randomly.

Once a part of a Regiment, an officer assumes the religion, customs, war cries and language of his troops. The initial Young Officers' Course introduces him to and teaches him the language, religion and customs of his troops. His personal religion remains personal, to be practiced in his home, with his family. A Catholic Christian Officer in a Gurkha Regiment will speak Gorkhali, engage in Durga Puja observances and sacrifice buffaloes with his Gurkha troops.

A uninformed maulvi has been known to conduct a Regimental Janmashtami puja and deliver a sermon of such beauty, that every eye was rendered moist...

That Samuel Kamleshan placed his personal religion before his troops' religion and customs, is an unconscionable affront to the ethos of the Indian Army. He had to go.

Altab Hossain, a vegan Muslim from Kolkata has been fasting to appeal to his community, urging them to stop hurting animals in the name of sacrifice. I salute his courage and compassion. May his tribe grow and inspire many more.

I have never understood what’s “sacrificial” about slaughtering an innocent being..It feels like a heartbreaking betrayal.

You break the trust of a gentle soul that looked up to you for care, for protection, for survival...No God can be pleased by the cries of the voiceless..

Let us honour the true spirit of sacrifice by letting go of our ego, our greed. Let Bakrid be a celebration of mercy, not misery. Let it become a festival of peace, love and compassion.

@azmi_noor_sidd @dgpup परिजनों का कहना है कि अकबर के साथ-साथ परिवार की चार महिलाएं भी डासना जेल में बंद हैं।

[Shara Ashraf Prayag Mishra @sharahuda]

The family of my former cook, Rukhsana, is in extreme distress. Her brother-in-law, Akbar, has been arrested by the Ghaziabad Police on allegations of kidnapping Sonika, who, according to the family, is his legally wedded wife. The couple reportedly married three years ago under the Special Marriage Act. I have been provided a copy of the certificate

In addition to Akbar, several female members of his family have also been taken into custody in and are in Dasna jail

Sonika has been allegedly forcibly handed over to her family

Sonika needs to be immediately produced before the concerned Magistrate to verify her consent and protect the fundamental rights of all parties involved

Her statement is crucial to prevent irreparable damage to a family
